Out with the old & the bay cleaned.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get it worked out & it makes you a million dollars.

I’m is South Carolina. It’s going to closer to 200k all in.

We ending up ordering a wash. The XR7 was all we could swing however. Did opt for the tri foam package, undercarriage & power tower, as well as free standing dryers. I personally removed the old ssa & rails this past week (tons of fun). Bay is getting cleaned & a fresh coat of paint. Will also...

I 100% agree you should take both tokens & quarters. I just am not giving quarters out anymore. I had a few complain but I made more than so I too didn’t pay much attention. I pretty much still take $1000 in quarters to the bank every month.

Dollar tokens fixed it for me. I really don’t see any downside other than maybe having to get the right coin acceptors. I only dispense tokens. My bays take tokens & quarters, the vacuums & vending are token only. If I got another wash it would be the first thing I did.

I had a few last night lol.

Here is a picture of. Single block thickness, other side is the pump room. When I said feel it move it’s not rocking back & forth. You can beat on it with you fist & there is a quite noticeable change in sound.

I’m hoping for 6/8000 washes per year. I’d like to think that in 7 years I’d have either sold or leased the wash at that point but who really knows.

I’m going to get someone out to look at the wall & see what they say.

Block

I don’t but I have a crack that runs floor to ceiling. You can almost feel it move when you push against it. The guys that came & looked at it didn’t feel comfortable mounting it on it & honestly I don’t either.

In the process of getting a new Razor. My walls are a little suspect in a few places so I’m opting for a frame. I understand stainless lasts forever, how long for the powder coated? Like everything this is snowballing on the price.

I too am running old Futura pump stand from 97. They have been out of business for years but after an initial overhaul (valves, fittings, new hoses) due to definite lack of maintenance. They have been running pretty well for the last 3 years. Much cheaper than installing new equipment as well.

I think having multiple cars waiting to enter isn’t going to be a huge issue at my location. Does that sway the opinion any?
